Re: How can content be removed from the Library?

[Brian Lee]

Mike,

Thanks for your response. What I did in the meantime is "yum install
pulp-admin-client", then using the pulp password in
"/etc/katello/pulp_user_password-file", I ran "pulp-admin login -uadmin
-p[password]", then "pulp-admin orphan remove --all". It seemed like that
cleared everything up, although I don't know if that would have any
undesirable consequences for Katello. Any insight on this? Also, for anyone
else reading this, I followed the pulp admin client guide found here:

https://pulp-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.1/admin-client/orphan.html

Thanks,
Brian
